"Let's Hear It for the Boy!" Alejandro's Tortilla Factory has been a
local family-owned business for 25 years, featuring humbly made corn
and flour tortillas. This is simple, straightforward Mexican soul food,
made using a minimum number of ingredients. The fresh, flavorful corn
tortillas are nicely textured with a slight tartness. The flour
versions are mellow, chewy and only lightly scorched. Sizes and
thicknesses for a wide variety of purposes are available. The South
12th Avenue grocery location—including the "factory" and a
carniceria—also offers other baked goods such as pan de huevos;
there's even a great selection of colorful piñatas hanging from
the ceiling. Kitchen utensils, including tortilla presses, are also in
stock, but with this quality and selection, why bother?
